Chapter 44: Entering the City (1st Shift)
Zilong was stunned for a moment, looking at Niu Ichiro's excited appearance, knowing that he was obviously also moved.
"Which is more important, life or money?"
Niu Yilang listened thoughtfully, and immediately understood, so he prepared gold and jade jewelry, filled two brocade boxes, and handed them to Zilong.
Zilong looked at the eyes full of expectation, and his heart moved slightly, these people put their lives in their hands, they were just people they just knew, but they took on such an important responsibility, and their hearts couldn't help but be solemn.
As soon as it was dark, Zilong was ready to set off, and after asking where the tribe was located, he was about to get on his horse.
"Brother Niu, if it is cold today, the grease at the trail can be suspended and replaced with clean water, I hope that the sky will be beautiful, and the ice and snow will be on it, and the effect will be the same!"
Niu Yilang nodded heavily, looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but have an inexplicable sense of trust, and he naturally cherished Zilong's words.
"In addition, the mechanism on the mountain road, unless it is absolutely necessary, must not be used lightly, remember to spare that part of the grease, always maintain the residual temperature, once they come to attack, it will burn hot!"
Niu Yilang couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, why did the previous two parts only need to be slightly warm and melted, but this one will burn to the fire?
Zilong frowned slightly, it seemed that this method was really unwilling to be used lightly, and after a long time, he said quietly: "Part of it is put into a small urn, smashed it towards the most fierce part of the attack, and attacked it with fire, and the other part is directly poured on the private soldiers!" ”
Zilong's words made Niu Yilang can't help but be cold to the bone, such a method, once it is used, I am afraid that those private soldiers will either die or be injured in a short time, and they will be buried in the fire.
Even if he is spared the pain of burning his body, he can't escape the pain of boiling oil, that miserable appearance, Niu Ichiro feels pain to the bone marrow when he thinks about it!
Nodding heavily, now he understands why he asked Zilong about the use of the third grease, but Zilong dodged and was reluctant to tell him, this method is actually a killing move!
Seeing Niu Ichiro's expression, Zilong knew that he must understand his intentions, and he would think more about it, so he couldn't act rashly.
Turning over the horse, looking at the top of the mountain that suddenly fell into darkness, the cold wind suddenly howled, Zilong suddenly felt a chill in his heart, the tiger body shook, and said in a trembling voice: "Three or five days at the least, six or seven days at most, no matter whether it is successful or not, Zilong will return, if it ......."
The next words, Zilong seemed to be very reluctant to say, but it was about more than 300 lives, including 100 old and weak women and children, Zilong had to make it clear.
"If you can't hold on, escape the third way!"
As soon as Zilong's words came out, Niu Yilang trembled, and his heart was shocked, this third way is extremely secretive, why would Zilong know about its existence?
But thinking that Zilong had no reservations about himself and that he had a lot to hide, Niu Yilang couldn't help but feel a little guilty, looked at Zilong embarrassedly, and said, "Brother, this ......"
Zilong waved his hand, and Lang smiled: "Big brother doesn't need to say much, Zilong is gone!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled Li Yu onto the horse and floated away.
Niu Yilang looked at the figure that went away like the wind, and couldn't help but be stunned, broad-minded, moonlight, frank, and thoughtful, such a character, the future is limitless!
"Dugu Zilong, no matter what the result is this time, Niu Yilang thank you!"
"Big brother, he brought those treasures, he won't go forever!"
Niu Erlang, who had been stunned and was guarding the side, frowned and asked quietly, this is not to blame him for being suspicious, it is really shallow friendship, and even the identity of this person is not yet understood, so trusting a stranger is too dangerous.
Niu Ichiro smiled faintly, "Who knows?" ”
Niu Erlang was stunned when he heard this, and found that the expression on Niu Erlang's face was extremely confident, and he couldn't help but wonder even more, looked at the direction where Zilong left, shook his head, and went back to the village.
At this time, in the camp tent at the foot of the mountain, a burly middle-aged man was angry at a group of young people, who were trained by the middle-aged people to be bloody, but they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, but they said angrily in their hearts: What should I do, do you want you to point fingers?
When the middle-aged man was reprimanding, suddenly a voice came from outside the account, "Team leader, the spies report!" ”
The middle-aged man stopped scolding for the time being, and let the young people sit in place first, but the anger was still there, and he said sharply: "Come in!" ”
The spies outside staggered in at this time, knelt down with a puff, and replied: "Team leader, the grease on the trail should have burned out, whether to continue the rocket cleanup, please show the team leader!" ”
It turned out that this middle-aged man was the leader of the encirclement and suppression of Funiu Village, Hou Mo Chen Yue, whose father Brahmin was originally a captain of the camel cow, but because of his unruliness, he was thrown to Tugu Mountain by his father to practice.
The harsh environment of Tugu Mountain can really create heroes, and Hou Mo Chen Yue changed his mind soon after he came here, concentrated on learning, and learned a good martial arts.
This time, just in time for the tribal alliance to send private troops to encircle and suppress the bandits in Funiu Village, Hou Mo Chen Yue felt that there were many people, and the tribal leaders were reluctant to go out, so he just took this opportunity to earn some military merits.
When his subordinates were patrolling, they found a mountain road, and Hou Mo Chen Yue took it into account, thinking that the plan to attack the east and the west was foolproof, and when the war started, it was going smoothly.
Who wants to change the situation in a hurry, I don't know who in the barberry village made this miracle, disrupted his whole plan, fortunately the trail loss is still tolerable, full of anticipation to build a surprise attack on the mountain road.
Who knows, only two or three people were left on the trail to defend, and the rest of the bandits threw themselves into the mountain road, making it difficult for his offensive to be effective, and he couldn't help but be angry.
After listening to the spies' report, he didn't care, attacking on the trail, just bluffing, for this reason, he also deliberately drove the slaves to pretend to be private soldiers, and attacked in front, and he didn't care how much he lost.
Now he is more concerned about how to continue the offensive on the mountain road.
"Where's the mountain road?"
The spy replied: "The bandits are on duty all day, and the sneak attack may not be effective!" ”
Hou Mo Chen Yue listened, his brows squeezed into the word "Sichuan", and said hatefully: "Go down!" ”
Seeing Hou Mo Chen Yue's expression, the young clan leaders had a bad premonition, and sure enough, as soon as the spies went out, Hou Mo Chen Yue's team leader immediately changed his expression.
"A bunch of wine bags and rice bags! No one can break that damn barberry village? ”
The tribal leaders were silent, but Hou Mo Chen Yue was helpless, they were all the sons and daughters of the leaders of the tribes, this time it was good to say that they were here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and if they didn't hear it, they were mixed with military merits, leaving them to go back to show off.
Hou Mo Chen Yue looked like he was majestic, and he reprimanded them to the fullest, but in fact, he didn't even dare to move their little fingers, and he defeated everyone and defeated him alone!
"Get out of here!"
After listening to Hou Mo Chen Yue's words, the tribal leaders instantly relaxed, and went happily, whispering as they walked.
"Looking at his arrogant appearance, don't you know how many pounds and taels he has?"
"The big guys are all here to play, why is he pointing fingers?"
"Cut, I don't even bother to pay attention to him, I'll talk about it when I go back to the alliance, I can't kill him!"
……
Hou Mo Chen Yue had actually heard of the words of these tribal leaders, but what could he do with people? The suppression of bandits is only temporary, sooner or later he will meet the alliance, and he has to think about how to deal with the alliance in the future.
With a long sigh, Hou Mo Chen Yue had already begun to think about how to delay time as much as possible to create the illusion of a stalemate in the battle, and then wait to return to the alliance to complain and ask for credit!
Zilong was cautious along the way, avoiding several groups of patrolling private soldiers, and galloped all the way towards the settlement of the tribal alliance pointed out by Niu Yilang.
At noon on the second day, I saw an earthen city in the distance, the city wall was all made of sand and soil, there was no half soldier guarding the city gate, and there was an endless grassland all around, and the yellow grass color blended with this earth city, and it looked quite desolate.
Zilong entered the city, saw four soldiers together, I don't know what to guess, one of them laughed uncontrollably, probably won a lot.
Seeing that Zilong wanted to enter the city, the four of them surrounded him, and the first person dressed up and said sharply: "Want to enter the city?" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zilong with squinted eyes, sneering at his dirty black and dirty outfit, which seemed to have no oil and water.
Zilong didn't care, he had a letter from the patriarch of the Dugu Ku to Fei Lianbo, the leader of Tucheng, at the moment, which was the best pass, so he turned over and dismounted, took out the letter from the Dugu Ku from his arms, and handed it to the man to read.
As soon as the leader saw that this was a standard military letter, he immediately changed his expression.
"Alas, it turned out to be the retainer of the patriarch of the Dugu tribe, the little Wei San has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive me, you take this master to the chief's mansion, don't take care of it!"
After saying to a soldier, he looked at Zilong with a hippie smile, his eyes shining brightly.
As soon as Zilong saw him like this, he immediately understood what he was waiting for, and groped in his arms for a while, and Wei San's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he almost left some saliva.
The king of Hades is aggressive and difficult to deal with, Zilong of course understands that these people may be imps who can be used in the future, so he can't say that he wants to win them over, so he took out a bag of five baht and turned it upside down, probably hundreds of Wen, and threw it into Wei San's hands.
"Buy some wine for the brothers to drink, the kid Dugu Zilong, I need to take care of the third brother Wei in the future!"
Wei San didn't have much hope for Zilong's reward, but he didn't expect this sloppy and embarrassed young man to make such a generous move, so a bag of five baht was thrown over, without blinking an eye.
couldn't help but smile, and watched Zilong all the way to the corner, still looking at each other from afar.
When the two little soldiers behind him saw it, they hurriedly leaned over and looked at Wei San flatteringly, Wei San was in a good mood and said: "Look at the people, they are worthy of coming from the big city in the clouds, don't say it, it will make people feel comfortable when they say it!" ”
The two little soldiers responded in a row, but a pair of hoods never left the bag of five baht, Wei San looked at their virtue, and said disdainfully: "Okay, let's go have a good meal today, and the rest of the old rules are divided!" ”
The two little soldiers laughed at this time, but Wei San muttered: "Well, Dugu Zilong, I wrote it down for the third master!" Hey, silly hat! ”
In fact, Zilong did do something stupid, the key is that he has not yet adapted to the change of his identity from a slave to a commoner.
Don't say reward, with the surname that Dugu Zilong was given, if he smells a fart in Wei San, he has to say that it is fragrant.
In this alliance earth city, which child of a family would take a closer look at a gatekeeper?
But even if Zilong knew about this situation, I am afraid that he would not be like those children of the family, because deep in his heart, he always had the idea that everyone was equal, and the doorkeeper or the duke should be the same in his opinion.
It is said that Zilong has gone all the way, and compared with Yunzhong City, he can be described as a difference between cloud and mud, and he can't see any people, except for a certain industry, which has been the hottest since ancient times, he hasn't seen any shops.
When I came to a building that looked very unharmonious with the surrounding environment, I looked closely and saw that it was a compound made of brick and stone structures, and I knew in my heart: I have arrived at the ground!
Sure enough, I only heard two thunderous reprimands, "Bold, don't get off the horse in front of the leader's mansion!" ”
